Challenges for technology innovation in health care

With the aim of illustrating an innovation model in an emerging market, this case summarizes the successful launch of drug-eluting stents at MicroPort and the development of innovation capabilities and culture within the company. The case also demonstrates a strategic dilemma after one round of effective technology innovation and, more important, the role of understanding the value system related to health care in sustaining innovation.

The University

This article describes the initiative and actions related to establishing a Digital Health Consortium (DHC) at the University of Colorado Denver. The consortium is a part of the Center for Information Technology Innovation (CITI) in the Business School.Â The objective is to augment existing information systems program offerings in health information technology with the support of industry affiliates and other partners of the university. Â The CITI-DHC is an industry-academia led initiative with a mission to accelerate digital health transformation through education, research, and service. We illustrate the vision and plan for the consortium, that will be fulfilled with academic and industry stakeholders, and who will be engaged with the platform to support digital health care innovations through collaborations.Â Â

Hospital Readiness

The Institute of Medicine has stressed the need for health care organizations to increase their use of information technology (IT) to create safer health care environments, particularly in the area of medication safety. However, the rate of successful organizational IT innovation remains low and this is primarily attributed to a lack of organizational IT innovation readiness. The reported study completes the fourth phase in the development of the 48-item Organizational Information Technology Innovation Readiness Scale (OITIRS). The aim of this study was to re-examine the psychometric adequacy of the OITIRS to determine the readiness of three community hospitals to implement a commercial computerized provider order entry (CPOE) medication safety system. Findings supported internal consistency reliability with alpha coefficients from .78 to .92, and mean interitem correlations for the eight subscales ranging from .38 to .65 with a significance level of .01. Construct validity was supported with an overall factor loading range of .49 to .92 across the eight subscales and an explained variance ranged from 33% to 66%. The study findings supported the use of the OITIRS to assess hospital readiness for computer provider order entry system innovation.

ARE WE CRAZY?The launch of a new journal, the Canadian Prosthetics and Orthotics Journal (CPOJ), is a good time to consider the brilliance – or foolhardiness – of such a venture as well-established peer-review journals struggle to survive. The challenges faced by the traditional, print based, peer-review publishing model are rooted in a greater wave of rapid disruptive change influencing technology innovation models and economic models in a wide range of sectors, including health care across the clinical care delivery continuum. How will this change influence prosthetics and orthotics and what does it mean for the future? These are important questions to consider, as CPOJ charts a course aiming to respond to these trends in a positive, sustainable way while adhering to high professional and academic standards. Finding answers starts with a short reflection on the causes of this change: the threads weaving the fabric of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
